UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

'BONHAM GALLAND, OF NE\V YORK, N. Y.

CABINET STEAM 0R VAPOR BATH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,873, dated April 13, 1886.

(ModeL) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BONHAM GALLAND, a citizen of the United States residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, haveinvented a Cabinet for Steam and Vapor Baths, for which I received Letters Patent of the United States No. 270,564, January 9, 1883. An improvement thereon, filed February 21, 1884, now awaiting decision, in the event of my obtaining Letters Patent thereof will tend to secure my rights as claimed.

My present invention relates to an improve ment in simplifying the mechanical construction of the cabinet, in reducing its size by telescoping the same when not in practical use, and also to a more practical idea in the mechanical construction, it being less complicated, and the combination of its mechanism such that the cabinet practically becomes solidly better conditioned.

In the telescoping of my cabinets rearinto front frame I secure a perfect portability of the same.

In the accompanying drawings, which fully illustrate my invention, Figure 1 shows aperspective View of the cabinet telescoped, the door being open. Fig. 2 showsa perspective view of the cabinet with rear and receptacle extended. Fig. 3 shows flanges of part (I pressing against the front edges of section D in the act of extending the two sections D and B apart.

Similar letters refer to correspondingparts.

Letter A shows that portion of base dovetail fastened to the sides of front frame shown by letter B.

Letter a shows that section of base connected by hinges to that section shown by letter A, and constructed in width to form a junction shown by letters a a, movable and covering the bottom.

Letter 0 shows the receptacle connected by hinges to base a.

Letter D represents rear frame with top circularly cut and sixteen (16) inches (more or less) of square cut near base for the placing of receptacle 0.

Letters E show iron slide with its connecting-link e joined therein by pivot, and grooved into frames B and D in two separate places on each side of B and D parallel to one another.

Letters F show iron rods fastened vertically to sides of frame D, and against the junction of that portion of base shown by letters a a, with open space running on the inside.

Letters G show iron bands with tonguecatch bent downward, fastened to the bottom of the corner junctions of sections a a, the tongue-catch projecting against the inside of iron rods F.

Letter H shows foot-rest hung to door it, which also serves for reception of lamp requisite for distribution of heat. Receptacle 0 serves for the burning therein of cup-lamps, requisite for the bath, securing thereby safety, the flame not being in too close proximity of the bather.

To secure the receptacle from the heat, I cover the wood inside with asbestus and a layer of tin.

\Vhen the practical use of the cabinet is required, I lower baseaby pressing down receptacle O. The junctions a a pushing against and immediately upon iron rods F will set in motion the working of slides E and e in frames 13 and D, thus with ease extending the full size of the cabinet. The foundation rest ing upon iron rollers facilitates a perfect movement.

IVhen the use of the cabinet is not required, I draw receptacle 0 inward, and, raising the same, bring base a to a standing position, closing onto section A, with receptacle 0 on top of section a. The iron band with tongue-catch G moving upwardwithin the vertical rod F willset slides E and e in motion inward, and thus with ease telescope rearD within frame B.

WVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. In a cabinet bathing apparatus, the combination ofa base, A, stationary sides B, having grooves formed on the interior thereof, a movable section, D, having pins adapted to slide in the aforesaid grooves.

2. Section a, hinged to section A, and having shoulders adapted to bear against the front edges of the sliding sections, and provided with receptacle 0 and the usual hinged door, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

BONHAM GALLAND.
